Abstract

In this paper the limiting fluid velocity allowing steady state transport of solids, called the 'minimum transport velocity', is determined with regard to low power consumption. An empirical equation to predict the minimum velocity is derived for fully developed flow in a horizontal pipe, and an experiment on the minimum velocity of coarse particles in the flow is conducted. In the case of a short pipeline, the above mentioned equation gives results which agree relatively well with the experimental data.
